Harem Scarem - Harem Scarem 1991 Flac - By: Request- Link
This album was recorded during the final golden era of analog tape before Pro Tools took over. The production, handled by Kevin Doyle and the band, is warm but powerful. When you convert that analog source to a lossy format (MP3), you lose the "air" around the crashing drums (Darcy Miucci) and the harmonic overtones of Lesperance's guitar solos.
To the uninitiated, that string of text looks like technical jargon. To the devoted fan of late ‘80s/early ‘90s hard rock, however, it represents the holy grail of Canadian melodic rock. You requested it. Here is the long-form answer. By 1991, the landscape was shifting. Glam metal’s hairspray was losing its hold to the flannel and angst of Seattle. Bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam were about to bulldoze the radio. In this hostile environment, a quartet from Toronto—Harem Scarem—took a massive risk. They released a self-titled debut that ignored grunge entirely. HAREM SCAREM - Harem Scarem 1991 FLAC - by request-
